Introduction
This is one of the surviving revise proof copies of DGR's 1859 sonnet. It is identical to the uncorrected proof copies at Arizona and in the Arendts Collection, as well as the proof copies in the Manx Museum, the Huntington, and the British Library. The text was first printed in and then removed from the two copies of the Penkill proofs.
